  1. how expensive is california? CAN A NURSE MANAGE WITH HER WAGE??

    sdmommie replied to curlysin's topic in California Nursing

    Oh yes! I forgot about those areas. I've always tried to live as close to the coast as I can afford. I have a friend who lives in Bakersfield who loves it. It's hot there though. I guess you just...

  2. how expensive is california? CAN A NURSE MANAGE WITH HER WAGE??

    sdmommie replied to curlysin's topic in California Nursing

    I love questions about living in California. I (unfortunately) left once to live in Portland, OR. It made it on some list as one of the most desirable places to live. Anyhow, cost of living there...

  3. Tuition for Community Colleges ?

    sdmommie replied to lindsay21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should definitely check this out. You pay less than out-of-state, but a little more than in-state tuition. You have to specifically ask to be a "WUE" student when you apply. The only catch that...

  4. Would I be crazy if I took this courseload?

    sdmommie replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it would be difficult to do both classes at the same time if you were working fulltime also. How many hours a night would you be in class? How many hours would that leave you to study?...

  5. Uggh, so frustrated.....

    sdmommie replied to Angela1336's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe you could try taking this class during the regular session when there is more time to absorb the material and get a tutor. Everyone has a subject that is difficult for them....EVERYONE. I...

  6. expired classes

    sdmommie replied to clairedeauville's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check other schools. Each school has their own wacky requirements. Mine requires that just ONE of the prereqs to be taken within the last 5 years. I took Micro 12 years ago, but A & P...

  7. What cities is an automobile needed in?

    sdmommie replied to chioma829's topic in California Nursing

    I didn't own a car until I was about 25, because I couldn't afford it and I didn't want to deal with the traffic. It was easier to get by without a car in Los Angeles, than San Diego. In L.A., I...

  8. how do you afford to live while in school?

    sdmommie replied to gordonarkell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends where you are going. Let's say for instance, that you are going to a 4 year university. They would determine the total amount for you to live including tuition, books, housing,...

  9. A question for moms...

    sdmommie replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. I certainly don't remember what my Mom was doing before I was in the 3rd grade. I think if the kids taken care of (emotionally and physically), they will feel...

  10. Relocating to San Diego...Need advice!!!!

    sdmommie replied to godivaRN's topic in California Nursing

    Poway Schools are great, but there are others in the San Diego Unified that are just as good. There are schools in the Poway School District, that are not IN Poway, but in Carmel Mountain Ranch or...

  11. how do you afford to live while in school?

    sdmommie replied to gordonarkell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely check with your financial aid office first. Apply for everything you can. If you don't have a B.A. already, you'll probably get a decent financial aid package. You'll probably have...

  12. Hospital programs..what do you think?

    sdmommie posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I heard that there are hospitals in Arizona that will sponsor their employees to go through nursing school. (I live in California and have never heard of this here.) Has anyone had experience getting...

  13. Hospital programs..what do you think?

    sdmommie replied to sdmommie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks so much for the info. You all are just amazing. I guess I just need to get my foot in the door at a hospital. I'm getting on waitlists, but I need to have other options 'cause I'm not...

  14. SAN DIEGO & the Public school system

    sdmommie replied to crazylilkelly's topic in California Nursing

    The school district in Poway generally has good schools. La Jolla, Del Mar, Carlsbad, etc. are supposed to be good too. You should check on http://www.greatschools.net for test scores. You can put...

  15. Does Maric College's ADN program transfer to any 4-yr university for a BSN?

    sdmommie replied to kjoy619's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know about State, but at Cal State San Marcos' website, they went into a long explanation about how the credits from Maric College wouldn't transfer into their program. I would just call...

  16. Nursing Schools

    sdmommie replied to want2rn's topic in California Nursing

    http://www.discovernursing.com/jnj-sectionID_4-pageID_54-dsc-landing.aspx Here's a list of schools that don't have waiting lists. Good

  17. Dumb Idea??

    sdmommie replied to brinley_s's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh my gosh! Wait!!! Babies are so very unpredictable. They don't always sleep when you want them too...especially before an exam. They seem to sense when you have plans for them to sleep through...

    sdmommie replied to dande's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Congrats to you! Just out of curiosity, do you know what the minimum gpa is for UofAs accelerated program? What is the scoop on actually getting

  19. Is it possible?

    sdmommie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    Some of the bigger apartment complexes sometimes offer corporate apartments that are furnished with utilities. Oakwood comes to mind. I think its cheaper to pay the utilities and rent furniture if...

  20. Does it really take two years to get into Nursing school?

    sdmommie replied to joleigha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I heard that Cal State San Bernardino doesn't have a waitlist. You might check them out. I would just go for a BSN. There is a site that lists schools that don't have a waitlist, but I can't...

  21. Lpn Program Not Accredited

    sdmommie replied to janel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the group that does the accreditation. For example, Maric College may be accredited by one group, but because they are not accredited by WASC, schools like Cal State University San...

  22. feeling overwhelmed (very long read)

    sdmommie replied to jenn_rn_nj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand how you feel. My mom is going through chemo, I live 2 hours away, have a family (husband and 2 kids), and have tremendous guilt. My dad is home taking care of my mom, so I don't have to...

  23. 5.5 wk Anatomy

    sdmommie replied to adelajudith's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My anatomy class was 8 weeks long and I had a REALLY AWFUL instructor. He's no longer teaching. He told us that he would test on anything in the textbook or what he lectured on...boy that narrows it...

  24. Just need a shoulder to cry on.....

    sdmommie replied to dorselm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chin up! Be happy you are as high up as you are on the waiting list. I'm on one with a 2 year waiting list (and that is just an ADN program, even though I have a B.A.) Just keep thinking that...

  25. Is it possible?

    sdmommie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    Unfortunately, Pacific Beach and Hillcrest are about 30 minutes away. I don't know Escondido that well, just by reputation. There are some really nice apartment complexes in the area according to...
